Quantity takeoff from drawings
Upload the drawing.
Calco does the takeoff.
Send the floor plan as PDF, DXF or a photo - Calco reads dimensions, rooms and notes, calculates the quantities and builds a complete quote with materials, labour and prices from your own price files. You review and approve before anything is sent.
Example
Here is how it looks
in practice.
You write or say
"Floor plan (PDF): New bathroom 2.4 × 1.8 m - tiled floor, wall tiles to 2.1 m, new sink and shower enclosure as drawn."
Calco delivers
QuoteBuilt for your trade
Your trade.
Built in.
Calco knows the rules, standards, and suppliers in your trade. No need to explain your trade every time.
- 01
Dimensions and rooms read directly
Calco reads the plan's dimensions, room names and notes - from PDF, AutoCAD (DXF) or a photo of the paper drawing on site. No manual on-screen measuring.
- 02
Quantities with waste allowance
Areas become m², litres, sheets and bricks with the correct waste allowance - so the shopping list matches reality, not just theory.
- 03
Prices from your price files
Quantities are matched to products in your wholesaler price files with real cost prices - your margin is right from the start.
- 04
You approve - always
The takeoff is indicative and sits line by line in the quote. You adjust and approve before the customer sees anything - and if dimensions are missing, Calco states its assumptions.
